Multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News that the man detained by Florida authorities in relation to the potential assassination attempt has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58.
Routh is believed to have ties to North Carolina and Hawaii, sources said.
Authorities are expected to file charges in the matter in the coming days, sources told ABC News.
On Sunday night, authorities were looking into whether Routh had grievances related to Ukraine and specifically frustrations with Trump’s position on this issue, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Additionally, sources told ABC News that the FBI had begun a deep dive into Routh’s background, looking at his social media footprint, his travels and whether he had a criminal record. Friends, family and associates are being sought for interviews. Everything is being examined.
